Goofs:

Continuity: When the guerrillas are crossing the Rio Grande, one guerrilla, armed with a bolt-action M43 Spanish Mauser, is shown in a close up raising it over his head. When the camera switches to a close up of the guerrilla in front of him (armed with an M1 Garand), he is seen doing the exact same motion, down to how his equipment jostles, in the background.See more »

I love cinema so what I'm about to confess embarrasses me deeply. I had
given a thumbs down to "Che, Parts 1 and 2" without having seen the
film. Terrible I know. But I felt into a trap perpetrated by...who? I
don't really know but there has been a negative word of mouth that
spread like wild fire and, no matter how smart I think I am, I fell
into it. But, thankfully, I bumped into an Argeninean film director,
Martin Donovan, a man I love and admire. When I told him I wasn't going
to see it because I knew the film was a failure he looked at me as if
he was ready to punch me right on the face and Donovan is a pacifist!
He took me aside and told me how much he loved the film and why. I went
to see both parts straight away and, "Che, part 1 and 2" is the best
film I've seen in 2008. It is, of such purity that it will remind you
of the work of some of the great masters of the past. The regard for
its audience is something that we're not used to anymore. I don't know
if we ever were. Riveting, moving, without concessions and Benicio del
Toro is just extraordinary. We can see his soul, we can actually
perceive it. The humanity of the man is overwhelming. So, thank you
Martin Donovan once again for educating me so honestly. Bravo Del Toro,
Bravo Soderbergh and everyone involved in this landmark film. Don't
commit the mistake I was about to commit. Go see it, now, on the big
screen
